The program was not on in 1942. Radiogold gives a date of 43-12-16, but that is a Thursday and the show was on Tuesdays at 8 pm. So, let's call it 43-12-14 for lack of a better date.

Gerber Program clip dates to June 1934: According to Wikipedia, the special guest celebrating her 73rd birthday in this clip, Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Heink, was born on June 15, 1861 and died on Nov. 17,1936 at 75. Gateway to Hollywood was a talent contest. The finalists included 3 young men and 3 young women, all vying to receive the stage names "Terry Belmont" (for the men) or "Gale Storm" (for the women) and to be cast in a Hollywood production. The female winner was Josephine Cottle who, as Gale Storm, went on to become the star of My Little Margie. She was 17 at the time, which fits with the date of 1939 mentioned in the audition. Love the Singles and Doubles so much! Thank you!

"Crime Cases Of Warden Lawes - Case 43587-M " is not a mystery show - it's just a man talking about how children differ from adults and, in the next segment, actors "7-08-24_xxx_Deadline_Mystery_-_Apartment_Racket" is promising, but the file is corrupted - playback ends before the show is complete I've listened several other shows - other than being rare, they are nothing special:
Awesome

I just listened to an episode of "Forward March", Which contains some of the catchiest music I have ever heard. It's much better than the crap on the radio today. It's great music for those who love 40's Popular Music ("Traditional Pop"). 5/5!
